Kindergartners completed a unit on line. We named all types of lines, pointed them out in and outside of the art room, and practiced drawing them in the air. I gave a little demo on painting before students began, emphasizing correct ways to use “Mr. Brush” as well as the not so correct ways.

Day 1: Students painted as many different lines as possible on their paper.

Day 2: Each class was given a different pair of primary colors: ﻿﻿yellow﻿﻿ & ﻿blue﻿, ﻿blue﻿ & ﻿﻿red﻿﻿, or ﻿red﻿ & ﻿yellow﻿. Students experimented with color mixing by creating a variety of colors (secondary and tertiary) out of just two to complete their line painting from the previous class.

Prim﻿ary Colors: cannot be mixed from any other colors.S﻿e﻿﻿c﻿on﻿﻿d﻿﻿ary﻿C﻿olors: mixing two equal amounts of two Primary Colors. ﻿T﻿﻿e﻿﻿r﻿﻿t﻿﻿i﻿﻿a﻿r﻿y﻿Colors: mixing unequal parts of two primary colors
